This is great. Love the composition and I like the "casual treatment". Tells more of a story with more natural photographic tonality (out of the camera look well pulled off) and a far less "over produced look" out of photoshop (for lack of a better word).

Who is the client?

Fred,

Thanks, but this image has a LOT of post work.

This was originally part of one of two videos we shot for this project and the stills you see here were shot with the RED 1.

Actually this session was at the end of the shoot and not mandatory for the client, as their needs were met on a practical set prior to this, so they may run it, may not.

Anyway............

I planned on shooting the stills with Polaroid and we did shoot a few frames, but it just looked "too" polaroid and couldn't hold the detail we needed, so we used the RED files.

In regards to the client, I never list a client online, except in private websites for a lot of reasons, but mostly because the web seems to have a billion year memory.

That's what I was getting at. While there is a lot of post work on these two imagesthe post work in the end is very discreet and in a sense "respectful of polaroid imagery".

I also find the combination of the two images very cinematic/story telling. As if a lot was said with few words.

I think you are onto something with this.

I have received a lot of positive feedback on similar sorts of images recently. Enhanced Fujiroids out of the Fuji or from digital files.Clients as well as celebrities are looking at the instagram phenomenon. There is a lot of opportunity in making high end instagram like work. Your images could pass from or blend in with instagram images, but stand out at the same time.

This set in particular has lead to several nice fat jobs:

Funny thing is they just a snapshots of my son that I shot on Polaroid because I forgot to bring film home....I even show them to clients printed 1:1 and not mounted in any way..

Thanks the Nikon D800E just shines in the shadows and still retains high light detail.

Had to make a make shift set up with the camera platform as the side bar wasn’t long enough to get into the center of the car so I took the end plate off and slid a aluminium tube in and a pk screw to hold it in place. Then I attach a Manfrotto clap with a Manfrotto ball head. Worked a charm.

Bob thanks my old Leaf Aptus 75 just wouldn’t be able to handle the shadow detail for this kind of image as well as giving me live view on my soon to be sold Mamiya 645AFDII and my Mamiya RZ doesn’t have wide enough lenses. This is where in my opinion the Nikon D800E just out shines it competitors
